About Secondary Teaching Scholarships
The Secondary Teaching Scholarships (STS) program provides financial support to students studying secondary or specialist teaching. Eligible students can receive payments to help cover the costs of study and living while completing their degree.
Students must apply during the designated application periods for the year they are enrolled. Applications are assessed against the program guidelines, and successful applicants will receive scholarship payments in line with their study and placement requirements.
The program is designed to encourage more students to pursue careers in secondary and specialist teaching, helping Victoria build a skilled and committed teaching workforce.
